Well, wandered into the local EB looking for stuff. (Stuff
that they have in the warehouse, but not yet in the store,
as it turned out). On impulse, I asked the store's Steve if
they were planning to get Tribes 2 for Linux in.

No, it's our policy only to stock the Windows version,
if there are multiple versions available.

I see, says I, Well, it's my policy never to
buy the Windows version if it's available for multiple
formats. I'll just grab it in town.

I probed a little about another game that had been
conspicuous by never appearing on the store shelves:
Terminus. Windows, Mac, and Linux versions in the one box.
Oho, they didn't stock it because of their 'no-linux'
policy.

Despite their comfortable proximity, and normally helpful
staff, I am thinking about taking my software shopping
elsewhere....Just as a matter of policy, you understand.
